Basketball Freshmen struggle as Rutgers falls to Wisconsin for first home loss

What did you want Pike to do?

Dylan barely played and did nothing still sick

Ace has the worst game of his life
He knows that but won’t admit it because the door was once again open to shit on Pike. Just think of all the beauts he will share with this board game over the next year and a half at minimum before Pike is gone

17 pts is good

But when they were down three, he was beaten on three critical possessions because of his footwork the question wasn’t even about that. It was whether he is still in fact, injured or has always been that slow and was just a one dimensional score.

How many other coaches in BIG would be 8-7 with RU’s roster?
None. We probably are at the bottom of the B1G Ten despite having 2 five star recruits (Bailey, Harper) and 2 four star (Sommerville and Grant) recruits. Speaks volumes of the actual coaching from this staff. Any school with a real athletics program would call be called out as criminal for wasting all that talent.
 
So players should take open 3's when you're down with no time left?

People just want to complain no matter if it makes any sense or not
Scangg, don't butt in. It was an observation out of frustration. Geez. Don't get on me for a simple observation.

Tons of offensive rebounds, tons of forced turnovers, 17 more field goal attempts and seven more free-throw attempts. Sometimes you just have to make your shots.
 
This was more of a coaching mismatch than a player mismatch.
Disagree 100%. Pike made adjustments, slowed their offense and held them way under their average, got opportunities, but they did not make shots. They had 17 additional field goal attempts and seven additional free-throw attempts.

Their best player was out and their next best player just missed tons of shots that he usually makes. That is not on the coach. What he schemed put them in a position to win if they just converted.

I hate to say it, but there’s a distinct possibility we won’t win a game in January. Check out that schedule.
 
The way Pike has handled Dylan's illness from letting him sit on the bench at Indiana to allowing him to go to the women's game last night is just another example of the piss poor job he does - not that we need another example
He was out at the ladies game last night. What makes you think he’s still sick?
 
Pike is a bad coach!
His team has some grit and some talent!
He is not putting his best players on the floor his rotations suck, he is a horrible offensive coach!
How the hell has grant not been playing more?
His team has come out slow and unprepared and have played catch up in a majority of Rutgers loses.
After not coaching his team they took matters into their own hands tonight, they were embarrassed, and showed some pride, nothing to with Pike as he put them into that situation.
On a separate note, Who knew when Acuff went down we lost our 3rd best player!

Learn the game and I wont have to explain anything to you. Wasnt arguing with you
Hey pal, I played the game at a high level and coached at a high level. You're lucky I held my tongue with you. What is the purpose of "hunting me down?" Did you read ANY of my other posts? Did you know that I've been here for nearly 25 years? Know who you're dealing with before you pop off like that.

Plus, Dercack is not what was advertised before the season. He is the LAST person I want shooting the ball.
 
Rutgers shot 25/73 which is horrendous.They still had a chance to win because Wisconsin played down to Rutgers mediocrity in the first five minutes of second half.At crunch time Rutgers couldn't make a basket even after getting offensive rebounds.
